Fall

Fall is a unique season. There's still plenty to do and see, but it seems like for many of us, it's just a waiting game. October starts with enthusiasm for fall activities but quickly fades. What was once an afternoon of mountain biking and climbing turns into a rainy afternoon of watching ski and snowboard movies. That's when the madness begins. You start watching so many ski movies that you begin to imagine things. You think about waking up to new snow on your lawn only to see your neighbor outside leaving to work, in shorts. You hear rumors of cold fronts coming in from the north and tropical lows from the pacific and you began to do the math in your head. Cold air + warm moist air = SNOW! But who are you kidding, it's still the middle of October and it doesn't snow in October, does it?
